Happy to have a help-mate
work was everywhere; come
help me over here wife..
She watched the animals
of Eden with care.
Remember: we have forever
developing our home
I'm sure there's time
for practiced
becoming many as told.
Fruitfully they pleasured
perfection in fun.
Eve admired Adam
wondering about love
does he like me?
He's pretty good about
our joining....
Imagine romping in
Paradise, eating
tasty foods.
What happen to day honey
why are you acting strange?
He talked to her about
many things, animals
their Fathers rules.
Until the serpent
spun his web of lies
Enticing, encouraging
her with temptation
stealing her soul; before
she bit the forbidden.

Ah, but perhaps the fall lies in Adams lap for not showing more kindness and care to Eve's needs so that the serpant spun 'round the tree could not be a reason for temptation. Perhaps he only said in sibilance and promise, "He will love you more and pay more attention to thee if you are as fragrant as the Apple you see."
Love, Tom B.
